    ****************************************************************
    Load Balancer provides a problem determination tool to collect
    data when a problem is encountered with the product. The
    windows version is incorrectly installed on Linux and AIX so
    it will not operate. On the Windows operating system, errors
    are reported collecting load balancer configuration
    information.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Corrected the installation to provide the correct versions on
    linux and AIX. Corrected the errors which occurred collecting
    configuration information. The tool did not detect the load
    balancer was running so the configuration collection failed.
